There are a number of reasons to consider jailbreaking your iDevice, whether it’s to create Wi-Fi hotspots with MyWi, get tweaks and added functionalities, many that weren’t previously available (multi-tasking, [...]

Apple’s iMovie is an app designed to run exclusively on the iPhone 4, but it will actually run on an iPhone 3GS by applying a hack. The app puts a mobile video studio in your pocket and gives you another creative way to use your iPhone by offering you some nice video editing and enhancement [...]
The iPhone 4 brought changes in shape, function, features, and so on, but to the joy of many cell phone photographers, the device now includes a rear facing 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash and a forward facing VGA-quality camera. Apple enhanced the cameras via software improvements like FaceTime, zoom, etc. linked to the hardware [...]
Newton Peripherals carved out a niche in the gadget-universe, guided by the simple principle that the best gadget is the one you take with you — because that’s the one you’ll use.

Unfortunately, Second Life definitely ain’t what she used to be. There have been more than a few headline-grabbing scandals in recent years, user numbers have fallen off a bit and the newest official Linden Labs viewer software hasn’t exactly gotten rave reviews.
However, there is still a very large and very loyal SL contingent that is [...]

La filas de espera del Palm PRE VS iPhone 3G | Loading, on June 6th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Two thoughts:
1) The fact that there’s ANY line for a phone other than the iPhone is impressive.
2) I know a number of people who are waiting for their contracts to expire (non-iPhone), and can’t wait to get a new Pre.
Even with as long as it took for Palm to finally come up with their “3rd generation” device, they have a die-hard following (I still use my Handspring Edge) that won’t give up a tool that’s been great to use for a long time. Hopefully these loyal users will be rewarded with the Pre.
Though if I spring for a ridiculously expensive phone it’ll probably be an iPhone. I’m even more fanatical about my Mac than my Palm. If there’s a cheap iPod touch coming with at least 32MB of SSM, I’ll be in that line.

Palm Pre vs iPhone » iPhoneFan, on June 8th, 2009 at 7:22 am
It’s interesting that the Pre got a decent following, not only forming lines at the release, but also coverage in the news. Obviously we won’t be seeing any news reports of the long lines, but there was still exposure to the product before it released.

[...] Occasionally, I’ll get a request to port Mach Dice to other platforms (Palm Pre, LG Touch, HTC Diamond, Google Android, Virtual Tabletop, etc.). But with a full time job, I barely have enough time to just work on the iPhone. So it isn’t likely any time soon. Still, I am curious. Do any of you have one of the other smart phones? Or does anyone have a sense of how many people own each of the devices? My impression is that iPhone has the biggest app customer base out there, but I’ve only ever seen anecdotal evidence. [...]

Ok so I just realized how much I miss having a custom tone for text messages… I know the standard one is very clean and fits in with the whole theme of the phone very well but with all the customization options on the Pre I can’t imagine why the only thing you can select for are phone calls.
I’m pretty sure if people are vocal enough about such an easy change then Palm will respond fairly quickly.

This photo is real BULLSHIT! peaple are fuking idiots and think the iPhone is better than Palm Pre, i’ve have the iphone 2 times, and i just end by selling them on eBay cuz they bored me, now i have the Palm Pre n is beter than iPhone in many ways. The iPhone 3gS is a good phone, but there are many phones out there better, like the palm pre and now more cuz Palm is updating to WebOS 1.4
by the way, apple needs a hole new phone to put video camera on iPhone, in other hands, Plam just make a new WebOS and the problem is resolve!
Palm Rules!!!
